The Khortytskyi District (Ukrainian: Хортицький район, Khortyts'kyi raion) is one of seven administrative urban districts (raions) of the city of Zaporizhzhia, located in southern Ukraine.
[2] It is named after the nearby Khortytsia island, a national cultural reserve.
The raion is located in the southern portion of the city, on the right-bank of the Dnipro River, neighboring the villages of Baburka and Novoslobidka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
[4] The territory of the Khortytskyi District was first inhabited by German-speaking Mennonites settling the Chortitza Colony in the late 18th century.
By the 1960s, the first residential neighborhoods were being constructed in the vicinity, which at the time administratively belonged to the city's Leninskyi District.
